The Inside-Out Life 🔄
Life to the Full
April 27, 2025

Big Idea: The Full Life starts when I stop letting life happen to me, and start letting the Spirit live through me.

If we could examine how we’re living today under a microscope, here are 3 Gospel Promises that become real when we shift from outside-in to inside-out living:

1. in the of the Spirit

James 1:5 - “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
1 Corinthians 2:12 - “We have received… the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.”

2. in the of the Spirit

2 Corinthians 3:17 - “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
Romans 8:2 - “The Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.”

•••


3. to without limits

Romans 5:5 - “God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.”
John 13:34 - “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

Reflection Questions:

  1. Am I letting my senses or the Spirit guide me right now? What area of my life have I been reacting to based on what I see, feel, or fear—rather than what God is saying?
  2. What decision am I facing that I haven’t surrendered to the Spirit yet? Have I paused to ask, “Holy Spirit, what are You saying about this?”
  3. Where in my life am I still trying to earn freedom instead of receiving it? Am I carrying any pressure, shame, or striving that Jesus already set me free from?
  4. Who have I been struggling to love lately? What would it look like to let the Holy Spirit love that person through me?
  5. Have I been living drained or fully alive? What’s one area of my life where I want to shift from outside-in to inside-out living this week?
